Deciding where to eat in Thailand is an adventure in itself. The freshest of fruits, vegetables, and seafood available in the markets set the stage for tantalizing street eats, local deliciousness, and upscale gastronomic affairs. Get ready, because Bangkok offers lots of options!

I look back on my trip to Hong Kong with a strong dose of nostalgia. I recall fondly the nightly laser light shows at the Victoria Harbour, browsing the antique markets on Temple Street, exploring one of the best history museums in all of Asia, and climbing the 268 steps to meet the Big Buddha on Lantau Island. My favourite memory is diving into Hong Kong’s culinary universe with Hong Kong Foodie Tours.

If you are thinking about travelling to Japan, there are some things you need to know beforehand. It is a magical and enigmatic place to visit. There are many things that are different about the destination, especially if you are coming from the Western culture.

On our first trip to Tokyo, we had the opportunity to take a tour with Urban Adventures and enjoyed our time walking through the back roads and alleys of Ningyocho and Nihonbashi area of Tokyo. On tour we discovered generations owned family businesses, nibbled on traditional snacks and pastries, and learned a bit about the Japanese culture along the way.

I firmly believe that every single country in the world offers that unique “something-something” that makes it stand out from all the other countries in the world. Well, I found nine things unique to Japan on a recent adventure through Asia that will forever make this country memorable and one of the high points in my travel life.

Vietnam is definitely one of those countries you have to visit one day. Its impressive architecture and nature are simply breathtaking — mountains, rivers, meadows, and lakes combine into one landscape that takes your breath away in an instant.

In the past, I’ve visited Thailand and Cambodia, both excellent introductions into South-East Asian culture. However, the other destination I wish I had time to travel was Indonesia, a country rich with culture, history, and tradition.
